New YORK, March 16th.-A guard was

Beecher's remains are deposited.
A Prospective Pardon.
NEW YORK, March 17th-A. M.-[Special]
A New Orleans dispatch says: The Board
of Pardons has recommended the pardon
of Dr. T. J. Ford, who some weeks ago
pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was
sentenced toimprisonment for fifteen years.
A pardon will no doubt be issued to-mor-
row, as the Governor has placed himself on
record as being in favor of clemency. Ford,
who was prominent physician of Shreve-
port came to this city and killed J. C.
kirkpatrick, who, Ford alleged. had won
his wife from him. Ford said when he
pleaded guilty that he did so because he
did not wish to bring more disgrace on his
wife or his children by the defense which
he would be forced to make.

THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.
[All the Year Round.


A cloud came out of the golden west,
A bell rang over the silent air;
The sun-gOd hurried away to rest,
Flushing with kisses each cloud he priest,
And, oh! but the day was fair.
GLOW brightly the year goes out, " they said
The glow OF the sunset fingers long,
Knowing the year will he over and dead,
Its sad hours oyer-its feet hours fled
With service OF eVen-SOng."
GLOW sadly the year came in" they said,
| listened and wondered in dusk OF night;
To ME no year that might come instead
Of the old friend numbered among the dead
Could ever be half so bright. ..-
The sun-kissed clouds grew pale and gray,
The bells hung silent in high mid-air,
Waiting to ring the year away
In strains that were ever too glad and gay
For meas | listened there.
Oh, hearts, that beat Ill a million breasts,
Oh, lips that inter the same old phrase,
l wonder that never a sorrow rests
In words you utter to friends and guests
In the new years strange new days!
Is it just the same as it used to be?
Have new years only gladder sound?
For ever and always it seems to me
That no new face can be sweet to see
As the old ones we have found.
There is no cOlud in the darkened west,
The bell is silent i'll misty air,
The year has gone to its last long rest,
And /, who loved and who knew it best,
Shall meet it-God knows where!

"Alas for the rarity of Christian charity
under the SUM-"
Lost lost A soul is lost!
Winds of the Winter, tempest tost,
Moan and grOan in your wailing pain,
For the soul may never be found again.
Tempted, and tried, and turned, it fell
From the heaven of purity, down to hell
Turned from home to the dreary street,
No rest, no peace, for the wandering feet :;
For when the Rubicon once was crost,
Angels shrieked over her: Lost! lost !!
lOst!'
Out in the street stands the Magdalene,
With her face averted-"Unclean I'M
unclean -
And her gay-clad sisters go sweeping by
Under the arch of the Winter sky
Sisters No! she had stumbled, fell,
Theirs is the Heaven, hers the He'll,
Do you think they would soil one trailing
To lift up this fallen one from the dirt?
No for the head is scornfully tost,
lost
Only woman more or less
To curse the land she was born to bless
Only woman sunk in shame,
CurSing her life and her Makers name.
Only wOman--GOd abOvei
Is there room for such in Thy boundless
love?
Sold to a life of deathless pain
For the greed of lust, or the greed of gain.
Treading a path with anguish crOst-
Is this soul forever lost, lost, lost?
Lost lost No soul is lost!
Though the chasm be wide, it is bridged
acrOSt,
And spanned by His infinite love and care
Who needs the uttered or silent prayer
And the very skirts of this Magdalene,
0 scOrnful sister may I've more clean
In the eyes All-Seeing-althOugh you de-
ride
Than yours, so stained with unchristian
pride;
Her draggled soul is pearl of cost,
Well worth your finding, though lost lost !
lost !
Lost lost o Thou who died
That the darkest soul might he purified
DOst thou sec from your beautiful home on
high
This wandering one meath the Winter sky?
Didst thou see the passion, the pain, the
fall?
O God Thou see st and know st all;
No erring woman, no sinful man,
Can mar the strength of Thy righteous
plan
No sonl ever cried from the depths where
tust,
To hear Thee answer-LoSt. lost lost
